It’s all about
being yourself…
Who is your role model? When someone asks us this
question, we immediately think of some famous people who are rich and
successful like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and give our answer.
But, have you ever wondered how that person became
another person’s role model? Is it because they are perfect? Or is it
because they somehow touched their hearts? None… the real case is -
they are being no one but themselves. They are responsible for what they
are today. When they had to make a decision about their life, they did
not listen to their Mom or Dad or teacher or a Priest or some guy on
television. They just listened to their hearts and followed their dreams.
We all know that people like Walt Disney, Albert
Einstein, Thomas Edison and many more had failed in many aspects of
their lives. For Disney people told him that animation was not going to
work out for him. Einstein dropped out of school and his teachers
considered him to be stupid and arrogant. Edison failed 10,000 times
before succeeding to make today’s light bulb. They didn’t give up. They
all did what they want and what they had to do. Now think about us.
Like the fingers on our hands everyone in this world is
different in their own way. One should never under estimate oneself. We
were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to be
what somebody else wants you to be. You should be here (engineering)
right now because YOU WANT TO BE HERE! Not because someone
else want you to be here. Trust me..we will never be happy.
Let me tell you something that I have learnt in my first
semester. On my first day here in MIT, my Dad told me “You are a
grown up now. It is time for you take your own responsibility and be
serious about life. ” I was like ...yeah! He is absolutely right! But, It was
high time for me to give up my childish ways and become serious in
life. And that was what I tried to do the whole of first sem.
The day on which we got our results my parents were
very happy though I didn’t score that well for them to be that happy. But
it was because I had handled myself well for the first five months away
from home. A week later I met my old classmates after a very long time.
They all talked and laughed about their friends and all the hilarious
things that they did. I just listened and laughed along with them. Later
that night I thought of the days I spent here in manipal. There were no
fun memories. There wasn’t even a single moment were I could say “I
really enjoyed doing that!” Then … That moment I realized life is too
short to be a grown up. And we all know “Growing old is mandatory but
growing up is optional.” So it’s all in our hands whether to fill our life
with anxiety and tension about the future or to push them aside and live
our life every day to the fullest, satisfying ourselves. And this is what I
am doing right now. .and, I have come to realize that I was unhappy the
whole of 1st sem because I was actually missing myself! Am I being
irresponsible for not worrying about my future? But who cares? It’s my
life and I should make most out of it, right?
The biggest step to love yourself is letting go of toxic
people in your life who tell you to change yourself just for their own
needs. Have confidence to step into yourself and step out as the one and
only you, because in the end people will judge you anyway. Take
chances; take a lot of then because honestly no matter where you end up
and with whom it always ends up just the way it should be. And always
remember everything happens for a reason ;)
Our elders keep telling us that they don’t want us to make
the same mistakes as them. But our mistakes make us what we are. We
can never learn from other mistakes because we would never realize the
actual consequences. We should make some of our own. We learn and
grow with each choice we make. Everything is worth it. Tell yourself
how you feel at the end of the day. Be you and be okay with it. And I
believe that someday everyone will realize that … “It’s not about being
perfect it’s about being happy!
